Disappointed in Lore.

DIES MONIES, Iowa, Oct. 15.-At an
early honr the police were notified that
there was a crazy woman at 9 Fourth
street boarding house whose violent de-
m~onstrations had excited the fears OF the
other inmates. Officers sMcSuley and
Shafer went up in the patrol wagon and
found a young girl whose queer actions
seemed to corroborate the theory of her
insanity. She was taken to the
county Jail, where she became so
violent that it required the strength
OF both officers to get her safely be-
hind the bars. She afterward grew
quiet, her favorite position being stand
ing with her haEds tightly clasped, her
heal raised and thrown back a little. and
her eyes closed, in which position she
stands for hours. She is a young lady
who formerly resided at Beacon, and
came to this city TO work in an Office. 1t
Is rumored that a few days ago she re-
ceiyed a letter from am old lover in which
he Informed her that his affections were
ceItered in another quarter. Since the
receipt of the letter her actions have
been strangely at variance with her
former behavior and it is thought that
the shock of her lovers faithiessness I'M
balanced her mind.

sad Case OF Hope deferred.

DIES MONIES. Ia, Oct. 15.-A sad case
OF hope deferred and bliss destroyed
came up in the county clerks ofica. A
loving pair of tender years applied with
all the confidence of youth for a mar
riage license. The prospective groom's
mother had been dead sixteen years and
he had never seen his father. As he had
no guardian and being under age, the
soft hearted clerk, with tears in his eyes,
was forced to decline to issue the license.
He suggested, however, that he might
have some n appointed his guardian
and consent giving at q probable cost OF
only W, but the young couple, with quiv-
ering lips and ~reproachfuk giacnas, looked
arms and meandered away, their JOY

CORNING, Ia, Oct. 15.-The sad sui
eide of l.. w. Lewis, an old and promi-
nent resident of this county and vicinity,
occurred here. He has been in ill-health
for some time, and further depressed by
the loss of his good wife last spring. It
is believed these causes produced q degree
of insanity, for he had always been one
of u %staunchest and strongest citizens.
He arose, built the fire, awakened his
daughter as usual, brought a pail of
water and then disappeared. His alb
sence did not cause serious alarm until
towards uoon, when a search was made.
In the afternoon his boots and hat were
discovered near the bank of an artificial
lake in the grounds OF George w. Frank,
just east of his Owl home. Further
search revealed his ~lifeless body in about
twelve feet of water, near the dan of
the lake. Around his neck was tied a
heavy iron weight. Mr.. Lewis was for
many years one of the county supervis-
ors and bridge commissioners. He was
al unusually active and successful Of
fetal and business man, and his demise
shrouds Il entire community in gloom,
He was about So years of age. and leaves
three grown sons and 4 daughter. Two
years ago the father, aged about 81 years
stlicided by hanging in a harm of the son
who now follows him. Both acts were
committed in periods of mental abbera-
ton.

A Rio. sauelehed by Policemen.

LONDON, Oct. 15.-The movement OF
unemployed working men was an ultra
sentimental affair and achieved a auaa
success. due entirely to the l%eniency o!
the police. The disposition on the part
of the latter to permit the crowd to make
most of their demonstration without
over-stepping the dividing line between
noise and violence was however mistaken
by the mob for fear. and the police fin
ally becoming impatient dispersed the
gathering In front of The Standard office
in less than four minutes. The fact that
the injuries sustained by the crowd were
very few and comparatively light is evil
dence that the resistance of tho mob was
weak and that they were not nearly SO
defiant of the authority of the police as
they pretended to be.

referred to was published. believe that

no anlmus against me in going before

me and, foreseeing the Importance of the

come time before the jury met a stranger,
an agent of Mr.. Villas, came here and
presented the matter to Mr. Davis aud

withheld the presentation of this docu-
ment to the assembly pending Its action
upon a report OF. the committee on laws

In question recommended the dropping
